Good Afternoon, crafty friends, followers and visitors, warm welcome to new followers Debs & Wendy thank you for joining..

Thank you all of you for comments you leave, really appreciate them all good or bad...love reading them..sorry for those with no blog, that I cannot return your call..

Frantic Stamper dies on this card used "Heart Strings" & "Love Filled Heart" here also used one of the dies from my Harrogate craft show visit, Heartfelt creations "Majestic blooms" from Oysters..

I was undecided on my color scheme for this card..I love red for hearts, but thought I needed a change, I do love purple & white looks so clean looking..

card size 8"x 8"

Both these heart dies match each other, started with a white card size 61/2" x 61/2" cut the heart shape with " Loved filled heart die", then embossed with C/C "Poetry embossing folder... this has been 3d foamed onto a touch lager purple mat, then I cut "Heart strings" die, glittered and placed in the cut out.
Flower have been cut with White card & mulberry papers ( had this for years new it would come in handy one day)...backing paper from my stash...

Another Frantic stamper die card today, did a lot of work on this Rose, die cut five to layer and cut apart, to get some depth, do not like flat flowers if i can help it. you get a stolid and outline die in the pack, also used love and hearts from "Love filled heart die set". here please if you need anything and it is not listed or says out of stock, if you phone the shop they might have it there 01634 686823.

Thought I would do an Achievement congratulation card as I wanted to use the feathers die, then decided I needed a flower so added the "Easter Lily" flower, not really Easter to me, just a nice flower lol. never made a card for this occasions... both dies here

Good morning, blog friends, followers and visitors, welcome new followers, thank you for joining me.

The card today are orders (made two)... they wanted exactly the same design as cards I blog on Saturday 22nd, but "Mums" birthday sentiment... I wanted to experiment taking a photo on a black background, as I could not get a true colour of the cards I have blog lately using white background.... well I much prefer the black, don't know what you think.....

sentiment on this card by justrite "Enjoy the day" vintage labels four I added the "Mum", easy if you have the Fiskars stamp press.. wouldn't be without this, for all my stamping...perfect stamping every time...here
also placed the "lovely aster" flowers different..

Might be gone a while as I have more duplicate cards to make..that I have blog this week!!!, dont think you`ll want to see them..unless I think it`s a better photo!!!.

Two mothers day cards, I have used the same dies on both, just added embellishments on opposite sides , ribbon on the bottom of the pink card, top on the lilac card, like both ways.
Memory box "Honey blossom sprig" is so versatile it seems to go any way on a card, it`s one on my all time favourite dies.
sentiment is justrite "Fancy frames" Mothers day stamp, heat embossed in white wow powder, cut and glued onto spellbinders "Timeless rectangles" die, used all the sizes to layer onto, largest size has memory box "Diamond background" peeking out, "Pippi & Isabella" butterflies.
